How to Protect Trees During Underground Work

Tree City USA Bulletin No. 35

"Tree roots in cities and towns must share limited underground space with a plethora of underground utilities. There, in those crowded conditions, they live under constant threat of disturbance from utility installation or repair, new lawn sprinklers systems, construction of foundations or sidewalks, and any other activity that requires digging.

This issue explains how root damage can be prevented by using proper procedures during underground work." [website]
